"(I'm Gonna Run to) The City of Refuge" is a gospel blues song recorded in 1928 by Blind Willie Johnson, with backing vocals by Willie B. Harris, who may have been his first wife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=I'm Gonna Run to the City of Refuge )〕 It is an adaptation of the traditional song "You Better Run". The earliest known recording of the song (titled "You Better Run") was by Wiseman Sextette, 1923.〔 Also lists other recordings of the song.〕 The title relates to the Biblical concept of Cities of Refuge, where people accused of manslaughter could escape vengeance. The chorus consists of the title, repeated several times, often in call-and-response format. The verses differ widely from one artist to another.〔 Johnson's version refers to Saint Peter preaching; to the Holy Ghost; to Book of Revelation 12:13 ("And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child"); and to the Last Supper. == Recordings == The following recordings, divided by song title, are by people with Wikipedia articles: ; I'm Gonna Run to the City of Refuge * 1928Blind Willie Johnson * 20047 & 7 Is, on the album ''Fun with Sound'' 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fun with Sound )〕 ; City of Refuge * 1988Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, on the album ''Tender Prey'' * 2008The 77s, on the album ''Holy Ghost Building'' (a different version from that released in 2004 by 7 & 7 Is) ; You Better Run * 1934Louis Washington, unreleased 〔 * 1965C.
